I live in Waltham Forest. Some jerks in a local Facebook group has come over all racist in response. As if they give a strawberry float about gay rights.
Also, isn't that Carol from Big Brother with the LGBT flag? Wonder if she said anything to motivate this woman.

There’s currently a petition on the government website with over 15,000 signatures demanding Boris Johnson “Rule out any prospect of granting an amnesty on illegal immigration”:

He did refer to Scottish independence as 'the Ajockalypse' so he doesn't exactly make it easy for himself.

Sarah Vine’s written another article for the Daily Mail today slagging off Meghan Markle, this time for her issue of Vogue magazine, and is trending on Twitter this evening because of it.
This follows a number of articles by Piers Morgan slagging her off, also in the Mail.
And a number of other articles by “Platell’s People” also slagging her off as well, also in the Mail.
Notice a theme?

I'm glad they are booing that banana split, but I still really really hate that Wales voted out.

What is it about mixed race Meghan that the Mail hate? It’s really niggling me.

It was probably just the English banana splits in South Wales. Ad7

It's the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election today.
If the Lib Dems win (as expected) then the Tories and DUP combined will only have a majority of 1.

I was in Brecon a week ago, Lib Dem posters and signs were everywhere - I really do hope they win it.

If the Tories manage to win this then it'll really be embarrassing for the Lib Dems considering the Tories have arrogantly put up the same candidate already convicted of fiddling his expenses.

Wow that is incredible how even the coalition between them has whittled down to a majority of 1. It may just be that the numbers are actually in favour of blocking no deal, you'd have to assume at least a dozen tory MPs would block it.

They should do. The Greens and Plaid Cymru have stood aside to give the Lib Dems a free run at it.
Betfair says:
Unless the signals from Betfair's Brecon and Radnorshire By-election are wildly wrong though, the honeymoon will end in the early hours of Friday morning. The Lib Dems are rated 93% likely to gain this Tory seat at odds of 1.07 and reduce the government's majority to just one.

People say the bookies are never wrong, so we will see.

Don't rely on Tory "rebels" to actually rebel.
